Info:
tuesday AM my wife parks car in driveway and the internal blower, for passenger heat and air conditioning, runs full blast with the engine off and key removed. After the second try of restarting and stopping the blower stops. 4 hours later she attempts to start the car and gets no response, completely dead battery, and the key will not come out of ignition, due to dead battery. Not knowing enough about cars, I call AAA and tell them situation. When AAA arrives at 6pm they put jumpers on battery and attempt to start car. No turn over, just instant backfire type explosion, except the oil cap and entire valve cover were blown off. Dealership, where it is for repairs, is telling me they have never seen this happen before and the "blown resistor motor", which they say was the original problem, "may" have cause the fuel injectors or fuel pump to continue operating until it filled the engine. Hours later it dispated enough to be explosive. Has anyone heard of this? :shakehead
